As the Wandsworth exchange is also on the list of those to be closed, I also hope OR will prioritise full fibre in the area

They list "Wandsworth" on the build plan Excel spreadsheet here: https://www.openreach.com/content/dam/openreach/openreach-dam-files/images/fibre-broadband/fibre-first/Openreach_Full_Fibre_Build_Programme_Feb_2021.pdf
But only Balham is in build, it says three total exchanges are in "Wandsworth" so I am assuming Wandsworth itself is one of those?
Can I take this to mean that Wandsworth is due FTTP by 2024? Can anyone help, @Black Sheep?

Openreach announced yesterday that they were increasing their FTTP target from 20 million to 25 million homes and businesses by Devember 2026.
This means 81% of households will be covered by BT's rollout. They are currently building at a rate of 2 million premises/year and will be ramping this up to around 4 million premises a year

Yup - we're also recruiting like it's going out of fashion. Another 2.5k staff required this year alone ....
